      I'd be willing to bet Moby is over 1lb now. I have an LMB that's not quite as long as Moby but a good margin thicker and she was over a pound and quarter the last time I weighed her a few months ago. Fish tanks can lie. Generally that fish looks a lot bigger when you pull it out of the tank.

    A lot of inverebrates and especially amphibians often live and breed in small creeks specifically to avoid fish, that's probably why the heron was stalking the waterfalls.
    Hopefully Outlaw is ok, fish can recover from some nasty injuries given the right time and I've encountered many with scars from heron attacks (or cormorants which are even more devastating).

    As others have suggested, pond netting during the migration season would help. Check it out on Amazon. It’s cheap. I also heard on an Aquascape channel that adding bubblers breaks up the surface of the water and makes the fish harder to see. One more thing, do you have a fish cave?

    I have a small pond with Goldfish. I had 12 that were around 6-8" at the time. I have an owl decoy setup that is motion activated. Unfortunately it didn't work on him. Of course I didn't notice that there were a few missing until the second time when I saw it land and gut one before I could get out of the house. I put up netting over the pond and its been 3 years and I haven't lost another one yet. Since its by my front door I wouldn't be able to set up a sprinkler (although I would laugh my ass off every time someone came to the door) and I would never have a blow up decoration. Tacky as hell!

    I bought a house, had a pond in the back, it was filled with Koi and goldfish. Hurricane Ivan hit 5 months later, lost about all the goldfish, Koi survived. I kept the pond about 5 years. Got too expensive with the filter box/UV light and worse was the toads. All summer long every toad in the neighborhood showed up at night and it was LOUD with their shrill 'singing'. I released the Koi at West Florida Hospital pond, filled it in, grew plants.garden on side, and made a fire pit on the other. No more toads, and I can sleep at night.

When I say massive…it was massive. The biggest blue heron I’ve ever seen. I didn’t realize they got that big. Had to be an old bird. Probably returns to that pond every year. This was in Houston, Texas.
